Working with Dr. Lester was an incredible opportunity, and his knowledge and education with writing definitely shows. He offers advice and constructive criticism in a positive light, and is a great teacher.

My situation was unique. I had serious epileptic seizures during high school resulting in multiple brain surgeries and a long, challenging recovery. Matt entered my life during this time; I still had assignments to complete before graduation and an impending SAT exam, so I met with Matt twice a week and learned the essential concepts of writing and reading comprehension. While math was my strong suit, Matt helped me identify some earlier math concepts that needed refreshing. My initial SAT score prior to my relationship with Matt was 1260, but, after tutoring, I received a 1510 and was accepted by my school of choice for pre-med studies. I continue to meet with Matt two or three times per week during my undergraduate studies for more advanced writing strategies. I cannot imagine a better academic mentor than I have found with Matt.

I hired StudentCircle for math tutoring during my child’s first year in High School. I sought professional guidance for my child as they showed early signs of struggle.
Upon filling out a contact form on StudentCircle's website, the owner, Theo, called me back directly. We discussed academic goals and history, and I was impressed by his polite and personable approach. He provided me with a full understanding of the process and offered several impressive tutoring options. It was evident from our conversation that this company had their processes clearly defined, which is why I decided to move forward with StudentCircle.
Theo connected me with Laura, an outstanding math tutor. Laura played a fundamental role in re-teaching challenging Math concepts. She was invaluable in providing guidance for achieving general academic success.
Throughout my association with StudentCircle, I consistently encountered the highest level of professionalism from their staff and tutors. I greatly appreciated that I could pick up the phone to call Theo and my concerns were addressed quickly. Laura devoted herself to making the most of our tutoring time and tailored each session to address my child’s emergent needs.
I wholeheartedly endorse their math tutoring services to any parent!

Chris is both an incredibly patient and deeply knowledgable tutor. He helped me improve grades in a college history course by not only quizzing me to make sure that I knew the subject matter (American History prior to the Civil War), but also in providing constructive feedback on drafts of papers. He came prepared with a plan for each tutoring session based on upcoming papers and exams on my class syllabus. He was open to feedback on concepts with which I struggled and helped me build up my confidence to where I took a master's level history course and got an 'A' with Chris' support.
